Chapter 231: Hearing the Drums of War Again
Hearing that the house slave Su Pheasant moved out of his mother, wife and children, Su Rui obviously stayed there, but he was still hesitating, as a soldier, he lived not only for himself and his family, but also for dignity. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Su Rui knows that even if he escapes and survives this time, it will be a shame for his life in the future, and his military career will stop at his current position.
Therefore, Su Rui hesitated, the family, even if they die, they still have wealth, and the little status they left behind, they should still be able to live well, and the child can't accept a failed father, right?
Su Rui was still hesitating, but the soldiers around him were getting better and better, shooting at each other without dead ends on the houses on both sides, taking care of almost every Korean soldier in an all-round way, and the armor soldier who was blocking the road on the street in front of him was as solid as a wall, no, not only a wall, but also a row of fierce beasts from the wilderness, constantly harvesting the lives of Han soldiers, is this the real combat power of the Zhou royal family? Su Rui smiled, laughing at himself.
Suddenly, I heard Su Pheasant shouting, "General, be careful!" ”
Immediately afterwards, the tall man behind him pounced, threw himself to the ground, and after getting up, Su Rui found that Su Pheasant had an extra arrow on his back, and the arrow feathers were still shaking.
And at this moment, several more soldiers came over with shields, and shouted one after another, "General go quickly, the enemy here is strong, if you find another way out, the villain is willing to cover desperately to cover the general." ”
Someone even shouted, "The general can't stay here, and the brothers still expect the general to avenge us in the future. ”
Hearing such persuasion, Su Rui was stunned. But there was another flash of light, but Su Pheasant reacted quickly, regardless of the arrow on his back, he pulled Su Rui under the eaves of the house on the side, and dodged another arrow.
At this time, Su Rui finally had his will to go, and nodded at Su Pheasant, who picked up a halberd, roared violently, kicked open the door of the house, and rushed in with a heavy halberd.
It was an ordinary house, but at this time there were several soldiers of the Zhou Chamber armed with sticks and long swords, and it could be seen from the panicked eyes that these were all new soldiers. Indeed, in order to prevent the Korean soldiers from escaping from the houses on both sides of the street, the royal family had to drive away the owners of each house and then arrange the soldiers in the army, but the royal family has limited strength, so it can only be recruits, in the eyes of Zhou Bian and the young master, the fatigue of the Korean soldiers' ** fighting, coupled with the shooting of bows and arrows on the street, these recruits or armed peasants should be able to deal with it, obviously there is no problem in other places, but except here.
Su Pheasant was already tall, infinitely powerful, and his physical strength was extraordinary, and at this time, he was eager to protect the master, so he naturally let go of the killing, and brandished the heavy chariot with a halberd, and none of the royal recruits in the house were enemies of one move, and a few died in a few clicks, and the rest scattered in a hurry.
After turning around and pulling Su Rui into the house, Su Pheasant went to the backyard to kill, and several other soldiers also entered the house backwards.
The backyard of the house was quiet, it seemed that because of Su Pheasant's might, he scared the remaining Luoyang soldiers away, and several people were relieved, even Su Rui was the same, without the will to die, everyone was eager to survive.
But hiding in this backyard is not a long-term solution after all, after a few people rested for a while, Su Pheasant pushed open the back door of the backyard, poked his head out and looked out, but there was no one, this is a small alley, compared with the noisy fighting on the street, this alley seems extraordinarily quiet.
So Su Pheasant walked forward first, Su Rui also raised his long sword and followed closely, and the rest of the soldiers followed one by one. They need to get out of this battlefield, or find a dilapidated house with no one around, or blend in with the refugees, or they will be able to escape for a while, but they will not be able to escape for the end.
It was a narrow alley, and after ten or so steps down the alley, it was a turn, turning to the north, and several people walked cautiously, looking nervously ahead and behind.
Not wanting to suddenly make a few bangs, a miserable cry sounded from the back of the team, Su Rui turned his head and saw that a soldier behind him fell to the ground, but it was a few stones that died, and when he looked up, it turned out that several figures peeked out from the high walls on both sides of the alley, and it was they who hit a soldier with a stone.
Stones, and stones, the Zhou royal family seems to be best at stones, from the catapults guarding the city, to the bricks and stones blocking the city gate last night, and now directly picking up stones and smashing people to death, no one thought that when he was in Xinzheng before he went out of the army, it would be the stone that brought the most damage to himself.
And Su Pheasant also looked back and saw this scene, seeing that the few people on the high wall were about to throw stones, Su Pheasant roared and turned around and brandished the halberd, and was about to kill it, but was blocked by Su Rui, hugged his body and pushed forward. Su Pheasant reacted inside, and after glancing at the few people on the wall, he ran forward, and the few people behind immediately followed.
Only by running can the danger of death be thrown away, several people ran desperately, but I don't know if they were targeted, there were stones falling along the way, Su Pheasant and Su Rui, who rushed to the front, dodged one stone after another with their speed, but the soldiers behind were not so lucky, because the stones that Su Rui dodged would still fall down. Dozens of steps later, in addition to Su Rui and Su Pheasant, there was only one soldier left.
Finally, there are fewer and fewer people on the wall, or they can't keep up, or there are not so many people in the Zhou room, Su Rui is happy in his heart, is he going to escape like this? But after turning another corner in front, his vision suddenly opened up, and there were ten Luoyang soldiers standing neatly in front of him, holding spears and pointing at him.
Su Rui's eyes were all fixed, because these people in front of them were not recruits, not only looking at the momentum, but even the bandages on several people that had not been removed explained this problem. They were in trouble, and it seemed that the Zhou royal family had laid out several lines of defense against this street, and the Zhou family obviously didn't want to let go of any of the Han soldiers.
At this time, the sky was already bright, and the new sun had broken free from the embrace of the earth, and under the faint sun, they confronted each other like this, and no one made a move, but at this moment, they suddenly heard a drum sound from the east from afar, so abruptly sounded, although the drum sound was small, but it still attracted attention.
This is the drumbeat of the Korean army's attack, Su Rui judged that it was the direction of Pingmen when he heard it, Su Rui's spirit was lifted, the Korean army finally came, but he was quickly deflated, and only then came, few of Su Rui's men in the city should be alive, why did it take so long? Otherwise, the battle broke out inside and outside the gate at the same time, and Su Rui felt that there was still a little hope. But this time difference makes even the slightest hope gone.
I thought so much for a moment, and I was also a little surprised, as well as the Luoyang soldiers on the other side, obviously this is not the real elite soldiers of the Zhou room, and I was a little panicked when I heard the drums outside the city, although it was just for a moment, but it was enough.
Suddenly heard Su Pheasant's shout, brandished the halberd and killed, Su Rui also had a heart-to-heart, taking advantage of the other party's slightly panicked opportunity, he also rushed up to kill, followed by the last soldier who followed, and the three of them suddenly killed, but scared the other party's ten Luoyang soldiers.
But the ten Luoyang soldiers quickly stabilized and stabbed at them with spears.
There was another period of fighting, and soon the heavy halberd killed the two Luoyang soldiers. And in order to let the general escape, the last soldier actually gave up his life to block several people, Su Pheasant pushed Su Rui out, and after the two-long halberd forced the Luoyang soldiers to retreat a few steps, he turned around and chased after him.
Escaped another difficulty, there will only be two people left, Su Rui gasped for breath, running desperately with heavy steps, the blood stains on the two of them had already dried up, and only dark red blood scars remained.
After running out for hundreds of steps, he bent a few more alleys and finally threw off his pursuers. Su Ruichong next to Nunu mouthed, Su Pheasant suddenly understood, and slammed into the gate of the small courtyard on the side.
The door opened in response, and a lot of wood slag fell, obviously this door has long been decayed, and this is also the reason why Su Rui chose this door, even the door is so rotten that it is about to fall, will there still be anyone living in this house?
Apparently there would be no one, and the courtyard was empty, dilapidated and in disarray. Indeed, there are many abandoned houses in the south of Luoyang City, and there are only a few streets facing the streets, and the intelligence shows that it is not wrong, but what Su Rui doesn't know is that due to the forced entry of the Han army, a large number of people outside Luoyang City have poured in, and there are many more people living in the south of Luoyang City, but they are lucky not to meet them.
The two staggered into the small courtyard with each other's arms, and sat down on the floor in the middle of the house where the doors and windows were broken and seemed to collapse at any moment, and let out a big breath. Indeed, it feels so good to be alive, although I don't know if a few Luoyang soldiers will rush in the next moment, but at least at this moment, they are still alive. And thinking of the dead soldiers, Su Rui wanted to cry without tears, the army of five thousand, there are only two people left between **.
I was tired of running for several hours, and I didn't really stop until this moment, but as soon as I sat down, exhaustion, exhaustion, hunger, fatigue, and pain all came to my brain, as if the accumulated ones were released at once. Su Rui didn't want to move anymore, he didn't even want to move a little finger anymore, and then looked at Su Pheasant sitting opposite, and looking at the injuries on his body, it seemed to be more serious. Su Rui's eyes couldn't help but redden, it was really a hardship to see the truth, such a slave who grew up with him, although he bullied him a lot when he was a child, but since he followed him to the battlefield, he has been silently guarding his side until death.
Su Rui wanted to open his mouth to say a few words of gratitude, but he couldn't open his mouth, so he had to give up.
At this time, as soon as it calmed down, I could hear the earth-shattering drums outside the city again, and the drums became denser and denser, which was the rhythm of the Korean army's attack. Su Rui really wanted to smile bitterly, he had been in the army for nearly ten years, and it was the first time he listened to his own drumbeat outside the city in the city.
But after a closer day, I found that it was not so exciting, could it be that the current situation and mood were affected, and it was different from what I listened to on weekdays.
At this time, a slight noise in the direction of Pingmen could be heard, it was the Zhou royal family arranging defensive forces, and there was an occasional trumpet, was someone working hard? There was no need to think about it, Su Rui already knew that it must be the sound of the horn pulling the catapult. Catapult, catapult, I really didn't expect such a thing to bring so much damage to my Korean army, and it just blocked 100,000 Han troops outside Luoyang City.
After resting for a while, Su Rui eased up, his rapid breathing finally stabilized, and his nervous mood finally calmed down, and if he listened carefully at this time, he could clearly hear the sound of fighting in the southeast direction, at least tens of thousands of people were shouting at the same time, nervous, intense, and the sound of killing deeply stimulated the heart.
It turned out that as a civilian in the attacked city, the sound of war was like this, maybe a little excited, maybe a little worried, or even a little worried. Thinking of this, Su Rui couldn't help but smile, as a Korean, no, a Korean general, a forward general named by Han Hou, how could he worry about his own army breaking the city outside the city?
So he shook his head and put this emotion away, but suddenly realized that he should be worried about his situation. When I first fled for my life, I chose the north direction of Pingmen Street, because it was considered that it was sandwiched between the city wall and Pingmen Street to the south, so it was not easy to escape, and there was a wide space to hide to the north. But now, both of them are injured, exhausted, and their stomachs are empty, sandwiched between Dingdingmen Street and Pingmen Street, although they don't know the specific location, but they heard a voice not far away, Su Rui began to worry about his safety.
And at this time, the most uncomfortable thing was not an empty stomach, but thirst, tired all night without breathing, and shouted for a long time, and the throat began to smoke, and at this time the summer sun rose and began to exert power, and the throat was more like a charcoal fire, which was even more unbearable than the wound on the body.
Holding his breath and trying to stand up, but failed, Su Rui had to turn his attention for help to Su Pheasant opposite, the house slave who usually shouted at him. And Su Pheasant was obviously injured more and more seriously, and just when Su Rui didn't have much hope, Su Pheasant struggled to stand up.
"General, but what do you want?"
"Water." Su Rui only felt that his throat was smoking, and he struggled to make a sound with all his might.
"General rest assured." Su Pheasant was about to go out as soon as he gave his hand, but he stopped and thought about it, and then took off a suit and a battle robe, leaving only a single coat worn in the innermost, although this single coat was still stained with blood, but it was not as conspicuous as the battle robe. After taking a few more steps outside the house, Su Pheasant stopped again, took off the combat boots on his feet, and then strode out.
Listening to the clear sound of fighting outside, Su Rui felt that his soul was unprecedentedly calm. I don't know how long it took, there was a sound of footsteps outside the house, Su Rui struggled to move a few steps, and just after hiding in a dilapidated cabinet, someone outside the house walked in, fortunately it was Su Pheasant.
But he changed his clothes and held a crockpot.
Seeing Su Rui's puzzled gaze, Su Pheasant smiled innocently, "I stole it from a courtyard." ”
However, Su Rui couldn't take care of it so much, so he grabbed the crockpot and poured a few mouthfuls, and the cold well water directly moistened his heart, which was not a cool word.
After taking a few more sips, Su Rui felt refreshed and hurriedly asked, "What's the situation outside?" ”
